Residents Reminded to be Vigilant about Protecting Themselves from Mosquitoes
Residents Reminded to Be Vigilant about Protecting Themselves from Mosquitoes
Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
In light of the growing number of animal and human cases of West Nile Virus (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) the State Public Health Department increased the risk level in all communities from low to moderate. Moderate means that multiple cases of human disease caused by EEE or WNV are moderately likely at this time. For more information on how risk level is determined visit: http://westnile.ashtonweb.com/index.asp
Some communities in which mosquito samples have tested positive for WNV or EEE have made the decision to conduct spraying of pesticide to reduce the risk to people. The aim of spraying is to lower the overall mosquito population and reduce numbers of infected mosquitoes in the affected areas.
Mosquito spraying reduces, but cannot completely eliminate, infected mosquitoes. Therefore, it cannot eliminate the threat of mosquito-borne illness. That’s why it is very important for residents to take personal precautions against mosquito bites.
Peak times for mosquito activity are from dusk to dawn. Reduce outdoor activity during this time if possible. Use mosquito repellent any time you are outdoors, but especially during peak times. And remember, being outside even a short time can be long enough to get a mosquito bite. If weather permits, wear long-sleeves, long pants and socks. Use mosquito netting on baby carriages or play yards when your baby is outdoors.
Keep mosquitoes out of your house by making sure screens are repaired and tightly attached to doors and windows. Prevent mosquitoes from breeding by removing standing water from places like wading pools, recycle bins, and flower pots, and changing water in birdbath, wading pools or other long term containers at least every 4 days. Mosquitoes can begin to grow in any puddle or standing water that lasts for more than four days. Water in one old tire can breed thousands of mosquitoes.
You can learn more about how to protect yourself at www.mass.gov/dph/wnv or any of the Cape Ann town websites.

Who is Yancey Strickler and why are Chelsea Berry and I so grateful to him?
I met Yancey Strickler in October 2009, when we were on a panel together at the CMJ Music Festival in New York City talking about the future of music. Having been a rock critic for the past 8 years or so, Yancey described himself as the Eeyore of the music business, with gloomy predictions for it’s future. I, on the other hand, was optimistic, pointing out that yes the music business is changing — it’s changed dramatically several times over the past 100 years. But one thing remains constant: people love music. We crave it. Most of us couldn’t even imagine a world without it. If anything, our insatiable appetite for music is on the rise.
Little did I know that Yancey’s ability to channel his pessimism would revolutionize the music business so optimists like me could once again fall in love with new music.
A few months before we met, Yancey had co-founded KickStarter, a funding platform for creative projects that helps artists like Chelsea Berry raise the money she needs to make her new record. This new funding model has revolutionized the music business more than any other development since the dawn of the Internet. Don’t take my word for it, see what cranky music business pundit Bob Lefsetz says about it here.
On Tuesday, something momentous happened: after a tremendous push on her part, Chelsea Berry reached her KickStarter goal (but you can still contribute and get even more good stuff for doing so — just click here). She IS going to make that new record with her new band that all of us really want to hear. Here’s a taste of what to expect:
Perhaps Chelsea doesn’t fully realize that she’s also helping to build a new music world where musicians and fans rule — not the multinational corporations that bought up the labels and killed the intensely creative music business we all grew up with (baby boomers, that is).
Congratulations Chelsea — and thank you!
Don’t you wish you could just go out and see Chelsea and her band tonight? Well you can’t, but you can help the guys in Runaround celebrate some birthdays at The Rhumb Line tonight — that’ll be a rockin’ party.
Indeed, there are nine excellent live music choices tonight. Check out all the live music in Gloucester here.
And, if you’re near a TV at 1:30pm today, catch the multi-talented Brian King on Local Music Seen with Allen Estes. It was supposed to premiere on Wednesday on Cape Ann TV Channel 12, but technical difficulties prevented that. You can also catch it on Sunday at 6pm.
